I have a string that contains a group of numbers and I want a count of what is in the string except for duplicates. For example, I get this output in my string....(,594070,101348,100712,100290,100290,101 012)

So the count as I would like would be 5. In any instance of a duplicate I would like for it to count only as one. So how would I go about counting what's in this string to get the desired result? Thanks!

if you trying to do this in ASP, it will need far more code.

I'll try to post a kinda pseudo for you.

1. use Split() function in vbscriptto create a string array from this comma
separated string.
2. write a loop to eliminate the repititive items.
3. Write a loop to count the matches.

Hope this helps.
